Thanks, but the plain user `guix pull` works fine and
~/.config/guix/current is up-to-date.

I note that this page doesn't contain "sudo" at all and "root" only
once, in "For instance, when user root runs guix pull, this has no
effect on the version of Guix that user alice sees, and vice versa.".

I mixed -i and -E up, it was of course
sudo -E guix pull
sudo -i
guix pull
That is, first attempt with -E, same as --preserve-env, then sudo -i to
log into root before `guix pull`.
